<p>You need to submit Final Report for Class 12, signed and stamped by the school counsellor/ Principal. </p>

<p>Class 9/10/11/12 grades have to be sent on a single sheet, Transcript. It could include awards and achievements, class rank, percentile, number of students in each grade, SAT scores, Average Grade…to make it easy for the adcoms to assess you at a glance. There are mny templates available. You could choose and alter as per your specifications.</p>

<p>Sample Transcript,</p>

<p>School Report is basically a profile of your school. It could include the Board it follows, CBSE or ICSE or State Board, subjects or Streams offered, past performance of the school, size of the school…</p>

<p>The following link will help answer the other queries as well,</p>

<p>The school leaving exam in your case is CBSE.</p>

<p>I think in the level of CBSE, you leave it blank.</p>

<p>I think the online submission without a logo should not be an issue. As you would have invited the teacher as your counsellor or LOR teacher on CommonApp.</p>

<p>Since you already have the Final Report of Class 12, you need not submit the Midyear Report. But if any college that you are applying to, shows your application as Incomplete due to Mid Year Report, then you might need to send to complete the application.</p>

<p>@anialways…
Is it necessary to include class 9 and 11 marks in the transcript…???</p>

<p>And thank you for the help…</p>

<p>P.s. What is a Optional Report…?</p>

<p>Yes, 9th and 11th Report is required.</p>

<p>Optional Report is for sending corrections, I believe.</p>

<p>I want to understand the purpose of the Optional Report for counselors.</p>

<p>[I&lt;/a&gt; want to understand the purpose of the Optional Report for counselors](<a href=“http://s3.parature.com/link/portal/5494/5525/Article/672/I-want-to-understand-the-purpose-of-the-Optional-Report-for-counselors]I”>http://s3.parature.com/link/portal/5494/5525/Article/672/I-want-to-understand-the-purpose-of-the-Optional-Report-for-counselors)</p>

<p>"The Common Application Support Team is not permitted to make updates to any submitted forms. You may mail corrected versions of the forms or use the Optional Report to submit changes.</p>

<p>The Optional Report may be used at any point in the academic year to submit updated grades and/or transcripts, as well as to correct errors previously submitted on any report, but it should not be used as a substitute for the Mid Year or Final Report.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that this form can only be submitted once during the school season. If mistakes are made at a later date, forms will need to be mailed to the schools."</p>

<p>Correction…</p>

<p>The school leaving exam is called AISSCE - All India Senior School Certificate Exam (Class XII)</p>
